Transcript
An older man in a long coat and a younger man stand beside a paneled wall. The younger man asks, “Mr Keane. How exactly did you clean the drainage channels out?” The older man replies, “Scraped out the buildup, flushed it through, then coated the inside so it wouldn’t dry solid again.” A WD-40 can sits beside a drainage channel, with a ringed hand visible nearby. A voice says, “Huh?” A ringed hand holds up two fingers. A voice says, “Uh... two words?” Another voice asks, “First Word?” The hand makes a cross-like shape with its fingers. A voice says, “A cross? Uh... Holy?” The hand again holds up two fingers. A voice says, “Okay, I’m getting it. Second Word?” The hand stretches outward and moves. A voice asks, “Wiggling? Thrashing? Splashing? Wait...” Another voice says, “Swimming... Holy Water?”
